Rio Grande State Center

“There were good staff here but they were older. The younger staff were highly inappropriate at times and the way they picked favorites with the patients was quite annoying. One patient assaulted me and he was not reprimanded appropriately. When I called back to make a complaint the staff were extremely rude and talked to me as if they couldn’t understand me. Luckily I’m back in north Dallas where the mental health treatment is a lot more advanced. They deleted one of my reviews prior to this. Freedom of speech people. Get it together.”

“Super affordable medications. I am able to treat my hyperthyroid with their affordable health care medications . They care about low income families. I can’t even express the gratitude I have from this place. There’s time I can’t afford to pay for medications and they let me take the medications even if I don’t have anymore money. They have doctors that work hard to help others. They are truly my life saving cause. I was also hospitalized on the physique union i was diagnosed with schizophrenia. They treated me well. Got me to come back to work. Now I get treated at Texas tropical. This place has save my life. I can’t thank the doctors and nurses enough for what they did for me.”

“Staff is not violent at all.they only take down patients when they are being violent They limit clothes and belongings to prevent self harm doctor meetings are based on you level of care.your there to get help not treat the staff as hotel.maids they are there for you to talk to them helo you out. Not for anyone's temper tantrums.”

“I detoxed off of drugs there for 7 days in May of 2006. the staff was very helpful in my transition to a better way of life. I am clean today 10 years later after going through the center, thanks be to God.”
